I love being able to watch clients reach out to us for support, gain help and graduate with a sense of pride and confidence. I love being able to help others remove mental health barriers to life and their personal goals. As a Director, I love that I get to lead a team with so much heart, care and dedication. All my staff make everyday fun and exciting. I also like having the opportunity to work for a company which allows me to have a voice within the ever-growing mental health field.

I like being part of a large team here at Northern Pines. Everyone helps everyone here. I like being able to continuously train and learn new ways to better support our community.

On a personal note, I am driven by music and drums. Love playing in my band. I spend most of my time with my family and love to go fishing and hunting for that ever-elusive buck.
